Also, as someone who worked on HORSES and has also made porn games + comics: I really don't appreciate when people put down one thing I made to uplift the other! Especially considering no one at Santa Ragione *ever* framed it in these terms when we were discussing the Steam ban
I am a little disappointed when the conversation is focused around "it's art not porn!" because the adult games devs get very little support but have been dealing with this for far longer, and they've been sounding the alarm for that deplatforming coming for other games (such as LGBTQ+ content).

spotify wrapped? more like “spotify warped music and devalued labor while paying those who made the songs you love fractions of pennies,” thank you

Can someone who has read Nuzzi's book let me know if this is actually a thing in it? Or is this one of those "JD Vance bangs couches" things? x.com/bryancurtis/...

So at this point, I am of the belief that there is a conservative group in the background emailing companies and trying to get them to ban the game.

Attacking pre-school teachers because they don’t think Palestinian kids should be bombed to death? Declaring NYC’s first Muslim mayor “our enemy?” Fomenting hatred, even within the Jewish community?

You’re not making anyone safer.🧵

Trump calling Somalis "garbage" en route to a literal militarized purge of the community is a real litmus test for Democratic party politicians. Imagine being so worthless that they can't find time even to speak up about it.

“There’s a public health imperative to quickly expand the adoption of autonomous vehicles.”

Would the author say the same about building bike lanes? Installing automatic traffic cameras? Requiring Intelligent Speed Assist?

All of those are proven to save lives — and at a fraction of AVs' cost.

We received a very lovely, generous donation of knitted winter hats so we've made a Winter Warmer Tree to go along with our Winter Coat Rail. 🧶

Anyone needing a cosy hat can take what they need, and if anyone has any spare hats or gloves they can add them to the tree! ❤️

This type of thinking is brain poison and I don’t understand how anyone on the left can be doing it after decades of seeing conservatives weaponize it to harm the vulnerable
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

If 20 people are using a program, it helps 10 people who need it and the other 10 are benefiting despite not needing it…the program is good. This isn’t a debate.

And the actual ratios on real programs are an order of magnitude weighted more towards the people who need it

There is absolutely nothing left to the UK but bigotry and spite. A hateful place, you can almost taste it in the air, makes it hard to breathe.
